How Good is Tamim?

Really impressed by Tamim this year. He is the leading scorer in tests ahead of Amla. Admittedly he has played more innings than most other batsman but you can't argue too much with an average of 60 this year.

I don't think we can say that after 18 test matches that he is world class yet but he would certainly be selected for many teams in the world.

Questions:
Which teams do you think he would be selected for?
How old will he be when he reaches his potential?
Is he just a useful player or is he very good?

Proudly against the bring back Bennett movement since he is injury prone and won't last 5 days.

Which teams do you think he would be selected for? Bangladesh (lol), New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies.

How old will he be when he reaches his potential? I would say in another 3 or 4 years. He will still be very young, but I don't see him as a player who peaks at the usual age, the kid is an awesome talent.

Is he just a useful player or is he very good? He is a test class performer and one of the most exciting young batsman in the world.

I don't think he'd get in our side ahead of Barath to be honest but no doubt he's a decent talent.

On current form he would IMO. Though obviously it would be a bit of a coin toss in who you pick.

Barath has been injured so yeah probably

And what makes him better? Barath is younger and already has a ton to his name on his debut in Australia, Tamim of course has played a lot more games thus far but in terms of talent i can't see how he's better than Adrian.

Tamim just looks better on the crease, has a wide range of shots to go with the aggression.

Barath's only a year younger tbh and Tamim has 3 tons to his name I don't see how either of these contribute to a who is more talented argument in favor of Barath.
